The
Doctor's rehearsal of an opera duet on the Holodeck is interrupted when
he is called to treat the severely injured Lieutenant Paris who, while aboard
a shuttlecraft with Torres, has been attacked by an unknown alien force.
When The Doctor cannot remember the medical procedures necessary to save
Paris, it is discovered that the Emergency Medical Holographic database
has overloaded and The Doctor's memory circuits are rapidly degrading. While
the rest of the crew fends off the cluster of alien ships -- the first they
have ever encountered with transporter technology in Delta Quadrant - Torres
attempts to reinitialize The Doctor's program, but forewarns that her efforts
would restore the original E.M.H program, causing The Doctor to in effect,
be erased.As the rapidly failing Doctor
becomes moreand more disoriented, Kes pleads for an alternative remedy.
So Torres leads The Doctor to the Holodeck where the enter Jupiter Station,
the place where his database was originally written, and find that the diagnostic
matrix is a holographic recreation of his creator, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman.
